Sir Walter Elliot would have admired the strong design and bold colour of the wallpaper which works remarkably well in this spacious bedroom with its elegant mahogany beds and finely veneered gentleman's press. He might have nodded southwards across the simple town gardens typical of the period, towards St Mary's Bathwick - a fine neo-gothic church designed by John Pinch in 1810 but only completed in 1820.
However he would probably have objected to the wallpaper's origin had he discovered that the design was based on the laurel wreath and lyre motifs which Percier and Fontaine used when refurbishing Chateau de Malmaison for Empress Josephine in the early 1800s!
This room can be arranged either as a king-sized double or a twin room, and it has its own en-suite bathroom (with bath tub).

Mrs Clay would have enjoyed the wonderful view from the windows over Sydney Gardens and up to Solsbury Hill as she mused which Elliot would be most likely to deliver her the best chance of title and fortune.
The striking but soft wallpaper design was based on the border and stripe used in Queen Hortense's salon in Chateau d'Arenenberg in Switzerland - the house she had refurbished after her step-father Emperor Napoleon was forced into exile in 1815.
This room can be arranged either as a king-sized double or a twin room, and has its own en-suite shower room.

When the BBC filmed Persuasion in this house, this room represented a garret in Westgate Buildings where Anne Elliot meets Mrs Smith and her companion Nurse Rooke as they discuss her proposed betrothal to Mr Elliot who is trying to win the Elliot title and any remaining fortune for himself. The room looks out over Sydney Gardens Vauxhall as Jane Austen herself did when her family lived at Number 4 Sydney Place just a few years before this very house was built.
The room itself is bright and spacious but not so high that it looses its cosiness. The comfortable beds can either be set as twins or a king-sized double. Should you be in a party of three wishing to share a room we can put up a firm sofa bed - subject to request.
There is an en-suite shower room with this bedroom
